Energy levels and testosterone alternative medicines

I am 56 going on 57 and was diagnosed with low testosterone. I have low energy levels and tiredness a lot. Also my muscle tone just is not what it should be with all the lifting and work I do. I have had some B12 shots and that level is fine now. I am otherwise very healthy. My sex drive is fine and so is my performance mostly. I am looking to boost my energy and muscle tone basically and would appreciate any recommendations for alternative medicines, suppliments, and where to get them. Thanks men!

First and foremost you need to find out why you have low testosterone. Men who's job exposes them to chemicals, radiation; involves sitting all day and night shifts will have low testosterone. It could also be because of Andropause. If it is not andropause exercise and diet will help. The body only produces testosterone during sleep and exercise. Getting requisite sleep and exercising the larger muscles groups (legs and back) will help increase testosterone levels (no less than 30 minutes). Introducing testosterone by way of supplements and injections should be done with the advise of a Dr. or sexologist. Because foreign sauces of testosterone may actually causes the body's natural production to stop, so that is counter productive.

Get a prescription for a test product but DO NOT get Axiron or Androgel. They are sold for like $300 per month. You can get EXACTLY the same formulation at a "compounding pharmacy" applied exactly the same way for about $75. I heard about that here and checked it out and it is real and the way to go. My doctor didn't have any experience with it so I talked to the compounding pharmacy and they wrote the prescription which I then took to my doctor for his signature. At $75 it costs about the same as the supplements you buy non-prescription which promise to assist your body in raising your test level but in fact do very little. Get the real thing then get your test levels rechecked to make sure you're in the high end of the normal range. You'll feel much better.
